53: CONVERGENCE & CHANGE:
What 2026 Is Really Asking of Us with Virginia Rosenberg

Posted by Christina Zipperlen on November 18, 2025

In this episode, astrologer Virginia Rosenberg returns for a thoughtful and honest conversation with host Christina Zipperlen about the energy of 2025 and what is unfolding as we move toward 2026. If you have felt the emotional weight of the last few years or the growing tension between different versions of “truth,” this episode offers grounding and clarity. You can find her original 2024 interview here.

In this discussion, Virginia reflects on how the last five years have created a kind of collective aftermath, a “soup” of lingering effects we are all swimming in. She speaks to the confusion, dissolution, and spiritual questioning that come with the current Saturn and Neptune movements, and why many people are struggling to understand what is real and what is imagined.

Together, they revisit the theme of Immersion for 2025 and offer a first look at the theme for 2026: Convergence. Virginia describes this as a rare moment when many outer planets begin moving together, creating an invitation to turn toward one another, clarify what matters, and step into a more unified sense of purpose.

Throughout the conversation, Virginia brings both honesty and compassion as she speaks about conflict, community, technology, choice, and the importance of becoming “stoppable” in a culture that constantly pushes us to move faster. Her insights offer perspective on where we have been and where we may be headed.

Key Takeaways
2025 is a year of transition that asks us to complete what needs completing before moving forward.
The theme for 2026 is Convergence, a period where major planetary movements mirror a call for unity and shared direction.
Pluto in Aquarius is revealing the shadow side of technology, group identity, and social structures.
Conflict is not something to avoid. It is part of being human and a necessary ingredient for change and connection.
As the outer planets shift into air and fire signs, we are being asked to counterbalance this intensity by slowing down, grounding, and staying close to the earth and to our inner truth.
Technology is not destiny. We still have the power to choose what we engage with, what we allow, and what we refuse.
